Photos and Description of the Eastsound vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4-5)

Conveniently located, easily walkable to the village of Eastsound and the beach at Waterfront Park, charming Huckleberry House is comfortably equipped to be your Orcas Island home away from home!

From a south-facing slope, we overlook the bay beautifully filtered by native trees from the living, dining and loft areas.

Centrally located halfway between Moran State Park and the ferry landing, the Eastsound area's many restaurants, shops and activities make it an ideal home base for island visitors.

Fully furnished including two leather sofas, flat screen TV with DVD and free WIFI. A well-equipped kitchen, spacious dining area and two queen bedrooms, one in an upstairs loft with a tree-filtered view of Eastsound Bay. The lofted, exposed beam ceilings, and use of fir trim on white, battened walls give our charming craftsman home a bright and cozy atmosphere.

Huckleberry House is the perfect spot for a relaxing stay on Orcas in any season, or an ideal starting point for your exploration of all the San Juan Islands.

About Pamela Guyer

Steve and Pam on Cascade Lake Bridge, Moran State Park, Orcas Island

Pamela Guyer purchased this house in 2006
Why Pamela Guyer chose Eastsound

Welcome to Huckleberry House!

We purchased it in 2006 when we were compelled by family issues to return to the mainland after a short but delightful six years of living in the islands. It was a way for us to keep our 'foot in the door' and have a place to stay while visiting the good friends we made while we lived here. You'd never know it if I didn't tell you, but it was actually built in the 60's and completely renovated inside and out shortly before we purchased it. We really like that it's lived on the island so long. We also really enjoy the central location. When we lived here, we were on an outer island and Eastsound was an hour away, so it's a big treat for us to be able to walk into 'town' on a whim. We love Orcas because it provides the best of both worlds; amazing outdoor activities as well as good eats and fun shops. I know you'll find our house and Orcas Island as relaxing and charming as we do.

Cheers!

What makes this house unique

May I just say location, location, location!!!

Staying right in the center of Orcas Island gives you easy access to the 'ends' of the island if you'd like to explore during your visit. And if you just want to stay home and relax at the house, it's really nice to be so close to the village that you can easily walk or drive there in a few minutes for coffee or a little shopping or a meal or the groceries to make one back at the house.

Enjoy!

Clean and Comfortable

4 of 5
Submitted: May 23, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
Everything was clean and clearly labeled. The feel of the place was updated and welcoming. It was very close to "town" and had everything we needed.

The place was advertised for buy 2 nights/stay a 3rd for free, but I wasn't able to stay for free the third night since someone booked during my inquiry. I understand the busyness during the beginning of the season but was a little let down for not getting to take advantage of the special offer that drew me to rent the house.

Thank you for your quick responses and your sweet, clean Huckleberry House. I would definitely like to come back.

So very awesome

5 of 5
Submitted: May 1, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We really enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The owners were awesome at reaching out to us, especially since we were trying to book on such short notice.

We have 4 girls (ages 6, 4, 3, and a baby) and we were very comfortable with the accommodations (we brought our own port-a-crib, but that was about it.) Loved the wood burning stove, the loft, the deck, the location, the kitchen....everything!

Thanks!!
